The police/military intervention caused the death of Marcelino Jarata Estrada, 53 years old.

A report from the Instituto de Investigaciones Forenses (IDIF) described seven deaths, including 2 in Montero, Santa Cruz; 2 in Cochabamba; the 2 Pedregal deaths and 1 police death in La Paz. To this we must add one or two deaths in Betanzos.Permalink On twitter.com

The police/military interventions urgently demanded in La Paz and Betanzos may very well have killed non-participating bystanders. If so, they continue a pattern of frequent death of non-protesters that was set most clearly in October 2003.Permalink On twitter.com

That three people have died at the hands of state security forces in such a short time is a reminder that they are blunt instruments not always willing or able to de-escalate violence.Permalink On twitter.com

All of these scenarios, especially the killing of Filemón Soria reflect the continued threat posed by partisan political killings and other violence among civilians.Permalink On twitter.com

So far, all partisan killings have been carried out by supporters of the MAS-IPSP, but other attacks on property and persons have been perpetrated by their opponents.Permalink On twitter.com

Continued pro-MAS/pro-Evo Morales/anti-coup mobilizations that have no overall strategic framework (other than resisting the interim government until Evo's return) could easily spiral into further episodes of deadly violence, either among civilians or by the police and military.Permalink On twitter.com
